Colossal Con, and we've got pictures!

[termyt]

Cleveland Colossal Convention took place this weekend in the lovely Embassy Suites in Independence, oHIo, as desperado, LightUpTheDark, and I (am I missing anyone?) can atest.

I had my new digital camera with me and these are some of the things I saw on Friday:

[Mr. SmartyPants]

[termyt]

This kid made a great Luffie. He seemed amazed at the number of people who wanted his picture, but of the 58,395 Luffies I saw this weekend, he was the best.

[desperado]

[shooraijin]

[Locke]

[Mr. SmartyPants]

[Rachel]

I can't tell who any of them are supposed to be...but they are cool pics.

[termyt]

I don't recognize them all, either, but I did think there were quite a few very good costumes. Here are some more:
(Yuna of FFX)
(Wario)
(FFVII's Vincent, Cloud, Tifa)
(Sango from InuYasha)
(Zelda's folks)

[Kawaiikneko]

That's Vincent Cid and Tifa btw

CLEVLAND!!! NOOO~ I didn't know about it or I would have gone T___T You must all come to Ohayocon next year!

[desperado]

i plan on going to ohayocon. i wonder if i should improve on the balmung or make a neji costume... hmmmm i should make a poll about it later

[termyt]

That's Vincent Cid and Tifa btw

Cid it is. I'm afraid I wasn't looking at the picture when I wrote the caption.

[Kawaiikneko]

that's always a good way to label things XD

good good, you'll have to meet me and insanewitapen ^^ We probably won't be cosplaying though.

[termyt]

I definitely noticed a paradigm shift at the con this year. Gone were the legions of Sailor Scouts, replaced by something called "Narutards." I'm not sure that I approve of that term, but I'm not sure I don't find it funny, either. I did manage to find three scouts, though, and here they are:



I think that was Sailor Moon's real hair.

BTW, my friends and I are seriously considering Ohayocon next year.

[desperado]

you should man ill be there fighting of the fangirls like this year ~ _ ~;;;
edit
forgot to mention that i was glomped by the bottom two sailor scouts...

[AngelSakura]

<<I think that was Sailor Moon's real hair.>>
Nope, that one's Kagome Higurashi of Inuyasha.

[desperado]

well since i cant get my photos developed till fri i searched and found some pics from people that went to to con (of there boards) well the first is me playing the guitar, second is of the haru i borrowed the guitar from (cool person and excellent cosplay) and third is a pic of me fighting the main character of drakenguard (was a cool pose) oh and forgive the cosplay it was my first one (also i will post most of my pics fri once i get them developed) there were so many cool cosplayers out there and i wish i could have gotten pics of them all.

[Locke]

awsome cosplay.

Looking like a pro too, no obvius mistakes!

[desperado]

you should have seen the feet... pool shoes with foam on them and spray painted karate pads...hehe.. i guess thats why the one judges main suggestion was to make greives

[Fsiphskilm]

you should submit these to Cosplay.com

[termyt]

oh and forgive the cosplay it was my first one.

You are too modest. Your costume was very good. Award winning, even.

[dragonshimmer]

GREAT pics, guys! And, desperado, I agree with termyt...that looks like a pretty good cosplay to me!! n__n This is making me very anxious to attend my first con in September!

[shooraijin]

So who's who in the pictures? Are any of you guys in them (obviously desperado, but anyone else)?

[Shao Feng-Li]

lol

[Kkun]

well since i cant get my photos developed till fri i searched and found some pics from people that went to to con (of there boards) well the first is me playing the guitar, second is of the haru i borrowed the guitar from (cool person and excellent cosplay) and third is a pic of me fighting the main character of drakenguard (was a cool pose) oh and forgive the cosplay it was my first one (also i will post most of my pics fri once i get them developed) there were so many cool cosplayers out there and i wish i could have gotten pics of them all.

Those pictures are fantastic, Desperado. Your costume was really, really, really great. That was probably the best Balmung cosplay I've ever seen.

[Yojimbo]

Yeah you looked good desperado especially for your first time. And yeah are there pictures of other CAA people?

[termyt]

I'm not in any of these pictures and if any of them are CAAers, they're keeping silent about their presence there.

I'm considering making a costume for next year, but we'll have to wait and see.

Anyway, here's some more pictures. I'm glad desperado found those really good ones of himself. i got one of him, but it turned out very blurry. I'm not much of a photog.

[desperado]

the girl in the first ph oto wupped me big time in the naruto game as temari. she is insane at that game

[termyt]

There were a ton of Final Fantasy cosplayers there this year. Here's a cute Rinoa:

And the long awaited "Battle of the Eds" took place here:

And now to my personal favorites:
This young lady was quite a fox:

And who would have ever expected to see Triangle Head? Certainly not me:

Simply amazing.

[dragonshimmer]

Uh...wow. I NEVER would have expected to see someone cosplay Silent Hill. That triangle head is REALLY good...although very disturbing. Wow. Just...wow. Nice.
